Nuts

Quote By Poet "Nuts are not just for the squirrels. I love them too."

When one thinks of snacks what can you find,
nuts may not come to mind.
Nuts are a healthy snack your teeth can grind,
best when unsalted for all mankind.
Their crunch can make a sound,
your gums will be spellbound.
Vending machines or at a fairground,
you can find nuts as you walk around.
Great when added to candy or pie,
add them to a wonderful stir fry.
Squirrels find nuts for free,
then run up a tree.
You see,
I love to watch them flee.
Nuts for you and for me,
maybe we need a cup of hot tea.

It’s salted peanuts for me Paula, though I know too much salt is not good for one’s health. Nice one Paula… Belle
